Sofia // Peaky Blinders

54

Sofia walked into the Garrison. She wore a dark blue dress with a fur coat over it. She looked at Michael to see him sitting down with Gina. A glare was sent from the two of them towards Sofia.

She rolled her eyes and leant against the bar. She looked at her nails waiting for the meeting to start.

She looked up and watched as Arthur and Finn walked in. She smirked as Arthur hit the back of Michael's chair as he passed him.

"Ello beautiful". He said as he pulled her in for a hug. She smiled and wrapped her small arms around him. She let out a small laugh as he spun her around.

"You bearing up Arthur?" Polly asked.

Arthur looked at Sofia and then back to Polly.

"Bearing up for what? Bearing up to be free, Pol. Another glass eh? Another glass of so what". He growled.

He poured himself and Sofia a whisky. He joined her in leaning against the bar.

"Are you alright Charlie?" Someone asked.

"Mad bastard Barney kicked me in the shin when I woke him up". He answered.

"Where is the mad bastard?" The man asked.

"He's tied to a lamp post outside with three Lee boys, shitting themselves". He answered.

The doors where pushed open as Tommy walked in.

"A welcome to Mr Aberama Gold. He and Polly are to be married in three weeks, with my blessing. From now on Aberama will be welcome at our meetings. First item of business, a bereavement. Colonel Ben Younger, who may perhaps have become a member of this family, was taken from us, by dark forces. We've made some investigations, and we think we know who planted the bomb. In the meantime, our thoughts are with Ada, and the baby inside of her, who may one day sit at these meetings, but under hopefully under happier circumstances". Tommy said.

"Let's drink to happier circumstances". Polly said.

Everyone raised there glasses and said. "To Ada".

"Item number two. An announcement, regarding Michael". Tommy said.

"Before you go on Tommy. There's something I'd like to say directly to the whole family, regarding finances and the future of this company. According to your own estimations, this new venture of the delivery and shipment of opium will bring into the company around £2 million per year. Therefore, due to the amounts involved, I think this company should be restructured". Michael said.

Polly raised her eyebrow. "Michael, I think this can wait til outside the family meeting". She muttered.

Sofia rolled her eyes as Michael continued. She shut her eyes and thought of something else. Her thoughts where interrupted by the sound of laughter.

"Item number three". Tommy said.

He was interrupted by Gina. "Tell him the truth. He can take it". She said.

"Tell me the truth Michael". Tommy muttered.

"The Americans don't want to deal with an old fashioned backstreet razor gang. Those days are long gone". He announced.
